3. Mindful Moment from Mrs. Shering
Good things are still happening.
Take some time and make a list.
We have so much to be grateful for!
● The people and places you adore.
● One thing that is going well.
● Two things you are passionate about.
● One person you can count on for a smile and a warm hug.

4. Our mental health and well-being is connected with our ability to learn, maintain social relationships and
reach our full potential! Connection with others is good for our mental health. Even if we can’t be
physically close, we need to stay close emotionally-now more than ever!

5. Virtual Yoga Club with Mrs. Lancia
Students and families are invited to join Mrs. Lancia this May 7th at 4:30 for a half hour Yoga
Club meeting on Google Meet! We will aim to meet every Thursday at this time.
● Know that other students and their families will be able to see/hear your child (unless
you turn off the video/mic options). Your child will also be able to see/hear other
students.
● Students are expected to behave appropriately (as they would be expected to behave at
school). Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.
● Prior to Thursday, families are encouraged to explore the Google Meet function.
Students must be signed in to their student Google account. Users can then click on
the “Google Apps” button (at the top right hand corner of the screen - the nine grey
squares). You’ll then see “Meet” appear in the options presented, which you’ll select
next. Students will be then prompted to join or start a meeting. You can join our meeting
by entering our meeting code: ojg-ifys-dhi
● I will have my e-mail (clancia@scdsb.on.ca) open, so please e-mail me if you are having
a hard time logging in and I will do my best to help. You’ve got this!
